Subject: drb bug?

The code I just posted on the client/server observer thread[1] seems to 
expose a drb or ruby bug. It runs fine for about 20-30 seconds, and then:

(druby://tercel:32915) 
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.7/drb/drb.rb:22:in `_id2ref': 0x200e1608 
is recycled object (RangeError)
         from (druby://tercel:32915) 
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.7/drb/drb.rb:22:in `to_obj'
         from (druby://tercel:32915) 
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.7/drb/drb.rb:398:in `to_obj'
         from (druby://tercel:32915) 
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.7/drb/drb.rb:572:in `to_obj'
         from (druby://tercel:32915) 
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.7/drb/drb.rb:143:in `recv_request'
         from (druby://tercel:32915) 
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.7/drb/drb.rb:490:in `proc'
         from (druby://tercel:32915) 
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.7/drb/drb.rb:483:in `loop'
         from (druby://tercel:32915) 
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.7/drb/drb.rb:532:in `proc'
         from (druby://tercel:32915) 
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.7/drb/drb.rb:482:in `start'
          ... 12 levels...
         from server.rb:14:in `x='
         from server.rb:34
         from server.rb:33:in `loop'
         from server.rb:40

This is with ruby 1.7.3, 2002-12-12.
